MUNICH, July 27, 2026 /CNW/ -- CGI (NYSE: GIB) (TSX: GIB.A), one of the largest independent IT and business consulting services firms in the world, will support the City of Munich in advancing its digital government services, improving administrative efficiency, and strengthening technological sovereignty. The city selected CGI in its latest call for proposals.
CGI and the City of Munich have worked together for 20 years on projects including the organization-wide rollout of the e-file system for approximately 40,000 employees, a license management system and smart city applications such as the digital twin.

"CGI combines a strong understanding of public administration with extensive technological expertise to help deliver digital solutions that improve services for citizens and strengthen the city's digital capabilities over time."
CGI will support the City of Munich in requirements management, digital transformation consulting, system development, and IT security to help improve delivery and service quality. Subject-matter and project-critical work will be managed by experts in Munich, while specialized teams at European nearshore locations, including Bulgaria, will support development, architecture, and IT security services. This delivery model combines administrative expertise with technical capability to support high-quality services for the municipal administration.
"The digital transformation of a city like Munich requires close coordination across technology, processes and organizational structures," said Dirk Kiefer, Vice-President Consulting Expert at CGI. "The key is to integrate digital solutions and optimized end-to-end processes into administrative practices to improve service delivery. By combining local expertise in Munich with specialized teams across Europe, CGI helps public-sector clients deliver secure, high-quality digital services and strengthen operational performance."
